Frankfurt Motor Show LIVE: Skoda Rapid Spaceback

The brand new Skoda Rapid Spaceback has recently made its world debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.

Skoda Rapid’s newest body style is named the Spaceback and it has been already caught on camera by our spy photographers, with camouflage on its body or with Fabia badges, so its launch isn’t a surprise for anyone anymore, but even so, the model managed to attract a lot of curious eyes. The Skoda Rapid Spaceback is shorter in length then the Sedan but it manages to get 415 liters of boot space, which can increase to 1,380 liters with the rear seats folded.

Skoda says that on higher Rapid Spaceback grades, features like the panoramic sunroof, hill hold system, Xenon headlights, tire pressure monitoring system, front, side and head airbags, ABS, ESC and much more. as for the engine lineup, the brand new Skoda Rapid Spaceback will get four-cylinder units under its hood, with power raning from 73 HP to 120 HP. The Skoda Rapid Spaceback is believed to bring 1.5 million units annual sales for the company in 2018. The model will be launched in October across the Old Continent and it will be positioned, just like the regular Rapid, between the Fabia and the Octavia. Prices for the Rapid Spaceback remain unknown for the moment.
